Identify the nail beneath a plastic bottle: This trick can be performed using three plastic bottles, one attached with a nail. The bottle is turned upside down, and the nail points upward. Then, the three bottles are placed on a flat surface, with the nails hidden underneath. Once the mentalist has finished his trick, he will pick up the nail and reveal it to the audience. The audience will never know that the nails were hidden under the bottles.
In another trick, the mentalist predicts the probability that people will draw a triangle inside a circle. He uses all of the tricks available to convince people to draw the triangle. He uses indirect hints to get people to pick up the triangle. The mentalist then draws the circle in the air and the audience subconsciously picks it up. Then, he reveals the thoughts of Wendy. The audience is baffled.
The Mentalist can force a spectator to think of an object by writing its color. This is another popular trick. Another trick involves forcing the spectator to limit their choices to 8-letter words. The trick is to make this constraint seem natural and free. The Mentalist will ask the spectator to make a picture of a shape with a certain color. When they’re done, they’ll be surprised to learn that they’ve drawn the wrong card.
Among the tricks performed by a mentalist, the most popular one is the “burning of a prediction paper.” The mentalist will make a table with the last letters of the US in red and pose as if he’s giving away the color with his mind. After this trick, the spectator will see the nail. The nails will be visible if the magician has the right technique. However, the ashes will be spread on the table.
Another trick involves forcing the person to think of an object. The mentalist will ask the person to think of an object, and he will then guess it for them. The mentalist will use the words the subject writes on the square paper to guess the number. The mentalist will then read the words’ meanings and body postures. Once he has the right answer, the person will say it. So, the secret number is the secret of the mentalist’s ability to fool the audience.
